Public bug reported:

When a network device information string is longer than the available
space on the current line, the widget happily wraps and pushing
everything down a row; however, this produces an offset which makes the
information displayed incomplete. The next nic in the list gets the
previous nic's ipv6 connection status display.

We need to provide fixed sized widgets so we don't change the layout
even when the information is too much to display.

Squished display:

PR #120 address this partially by limiting the width Vendor and Model. It 
doesn't address the auto-scaling UI built-in; rather that will need some effort 
to force a specific minimum window size at start up and exit if it's not 
available.
